About Everywhere But Home: Life Overseas As Told By A
Product Description An Amazon #1 Bestseller and Reader's Favorite 5-Star Book Two years of living abroad, two years of stories, encounters and self discovery. These are tales from everywhere but home. After graduating college, Phil Rosen dropped everything, packed up, and moved to Hong Kong. He launched a travel blog, taught English to locals, and ventured all through Southeast Asia meeting people, seeing places, and writing about it all the while. Travelogues covering different countries alternate with chapters that raise questions of self-discovery, purpose, and finding meaning as a recent college graduate. There are stories from Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Bali, and more. Rosen's musings on travel and life after college, escaping expectations, and the lifelong chase for freedom ring truer today than ever before. Every chapter gets closer and closer to answering the question, "What are young people really supposed to do in life?" Review "I heartily recommend this book to travelers who've been around the block (or the world) a few times...Thanks to Rosen's intimate writing style (the book reads as if we were thumbing through his revealing and thoughtful diary), we have the impression we're experiencing these discoveries right along with him...a marvelous first book, for travelers young and old." - Mark Orwoll, Former International Editor of Travel + Leisure "This work contains two years of material which would be more than people might do in two lifetimes...the narrative voice is observant, philosophical, and truly eye-opening..." - Readers Favorite "An erudite and sensitive description of some of the focal points of interest...as readers, we share his joys and excitement in seeing a place for the first time. Rosen's sharp observations combined with his sensitivity to culture and local practices make this a collection of lively short stories that keep you traveling from one chapter to another." - Mario Garrett PhD, Professor and Author, San Diego State University "Rosen is honest about what is occurring around him...to keep this short and spoiler-free, Phil Rosen's fiction writing is as terrific as his non-fiction, and a huge part of what makes this a must read." - Literary Titan "Rosen is an eloquent, wondrous writer...It's uplifting to read what Rosen has accomplished and what he has seen during his times in Asia, enough to encourage us to get out of the house for once...a book like this might just pack your bags for you." - Independent Book Review "Determinedly open to experiences, he often succeeds in getting beyond the usual travelogue clichés...[Rosen] doesn't take himself too seriously, which makes him a truly likable, fine host...Rosen draws readers into his peripatetic life with wit and sensitivity." - Kirkus Reviews
